Gameweek 1 of the 2022/23 Premier League season continues at Craven Cottage this Saturday lunchtime, where newly promoted Fulham take on Liverpool.

Kick-off in west London is at 12:30 BST.

Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) might not be the most-owned player in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) but he is by some distance the most-captained of the opening weekend, with just short of 3.3 million Fantasy managers handing him the armband.

He’s the only player whose effective ownership (EO) exceeds 100% in Gameweek 1, meaning that even if you have him but haven’t captained him, you’ll be marginally worse off for every point he scores.

There are plenty of other well-owned players on show at the Cottage, with Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) in around 60% of squads and Luis Diaz (£8.0m) sitting in more than one in five of our sides.

All of these Fantasy assets start this afternoon but the 20%-owned Darwin Nunez (£9.0m) does not, with the Uruguayan forced to make do with bench duty once again as Roberto Firmino (£8.0m) leads the line.

Bar the recall for the fit-again Alisson (£5.5m), Liverpool are unchanged from the Community Shield last weekend.

As for Fulham, new signings Bernd Leno (£4.5m), Shane Duffy (£4.5m), Kevin Mbabu (£4.5m) and Manor Solomon are all among the substitutes.

Andreas Pereira (£4.5m) does start, however: he is, remarkably, FPL’s second most-owned midfielder, although he’ll be serving as bench fodder for over 90% of his owners this weekend.


GAMEWEEK 1 LINE-UPS

Fulham XI: Rodak, Tete, Adarabioyo, Ream, Robinson, Reed, Palhinha, Reid, Pereira, Kebano, Mitrovic.

Subs: Solomon, Leno, Duffy, Mbabu, Cairney, Muniz, Francois, Harris, Stansfield.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago, Salah, Firmino, Diaz.

Subs: Gomez, Milner, Adrian, Elliott, Nunez, Carvalho, van den Berg, Bajcetic, Chambers.

    If the mods could please delete the accounts of all the earlier "Salah captain fail" posters, that would be great. Thanks

      Nope. Historical evidence of utter idiocy.

      1. fploutcast

        This! I need to know!

    Be nice to get something from my 7.5m defender

      If you only have one Liverpool defender this is good for you

  5. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    The scary thing is that Salah has been anonymous in this game and still hauls.

    Imagine when he’s actually in form…

    1. Ruinenlust
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      He’s always anonymous unless he scores… Do you even watch Salah play at all?

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Likes of Lineker, Romario and countless others made careers out of playing like that.

      1. south park ranger
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        One of those countles more is also Pippo Inzaghi from AC Milan, that guy was thrue champion in that cathegory

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Yep, the great players are able to do this

  6. Differentiator

    I have no salah. RIP

    3. Hazz

      WOW!

    4. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Truth is in your name. Big up

    5. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Hopefully that assist is taken off him because I'm in the same boat. Fair enough for the goal but wasn't an assist.

  7. MEGPAL
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Nunez sellers after Klopp spoke, hold me 🙁

  8. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Nunez looks like he'll get lots of goals but so funny how for his goal his missed the ball & for this assist he didn't know anything about it 😆

    1. Londongeezaa
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      The greatest trick a striker ever played. Convince you haven’t a clue 🙂

      1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        Like Jackie Chan's 'drunk' fighting style

  9. Hairy Potter
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Elite goal scorers take their chances and tot up the goals. What they do during the rest of the match is pretty irrelevant.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Exactly why Jesus is not a elite goals scorer

  10. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Nunez reminds me of Lukaku

    1. jack88
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Lmao. He reminds me of young Cavani

  11. thegaffer82
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Darwin’s goal was a missed back flick which cannoned back on to him from the defender.
    Darwin’s assist was him trying to control the ball to shoot, and he ‘controls it’ into Salah’s path.

    He’s essential now isn’t he. He’s getting a goal and assist when he’s playing crap!!!

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      This is him getting points when he is crap imagine when he is "in form"

      1. thegaffer82
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        That was my point 🙂

    2. 3 A
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Thats what Fox in the box do. They get into best position to score goals.

  12. schlupptheweek
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    It's a challenge for us non Salah owners when he gets phantom assists to please the masses

    1. EL TANO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Salah (c) here and I agree

    2. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Nunez scored it u fool

  13. EL TANO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Beglin is a clown

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Anyone actually remember him as a player?

  14. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Imagine not owning Salah

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

  15. Thanos

      1. Bleh
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

    • 9 Years

    Father & Son time next after Mitro and Salah have done the business

  19. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Nunez is just a a luckier Yaya Sanogo

  20. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Now praying Kane can match salah

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

    2. Bleh
      • 9 Years

    Last seen buried DEEP IN THE MUD 10 mins ago

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      They were ENGLULFED in a MUDWAVE!

    2. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      All dead and gone

    3. Mr Arsenal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      I take solace in the fact that Pool have been bad so no guarantee of a haul against Palace and United

  24. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Will that Salah assist be chalked off you think?

    1. thegaffer82
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Nah. Fat chance

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      No.

    3. Mona Lisa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Doubtful

    4. DycheDycheBaby
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      No. Intended target

    5. RICICLE
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      No, lol why?

      1. Baked baines
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        Because Darwin shot, came off Fulham defender on to Darwin!

    6. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Can you imagine the tsunami of whining? Never happen.

  25. Budweiser
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Taking out Zinch and Darwin a few days before 🙁

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Didn't we all

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Like everyone else

    3. Budweiser
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Oh what could have been

  26. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Big point for Fulham if they hold on here

  27. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Botman benched is a surprise...

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Not really. Many thought that Burn playing with the rest of the first choice defence last weekend was an indicator.

  28. fploutcast
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    If you went Darwin you deserve these points!

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Yes, that's how the game works.

      1. Indpush
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        Haha nice.

  29. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Silva has transformed Mitrovic

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      He had 1 poor year under Scott Parker 3 who benched him.

  30. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    2 very good games so far.
